Isn't the whole point of santa for kids to behave well?
Either way most kids don't believe in santa for many years so it doesn't matter what you do. It's just part of the christmas magic for children. Logic is good but I believe in letting kids be kids. They're still learning something because telling them santa is real means they'll associate good behaviour with rewards, kind of like how you train animals I guess lol. I don't even remember believeing in santa because I did so for such a short time, I know I did at one point though. Eventually it becomes obvious that the person behind the mask is a relative.
I think christmases as a kid would've been pretty boring without that innocent christmas magic of santa and all that. Christmas is not the same as an adult, it's just a nice day after all the stress leading up to it. When you're a child though it's all magical... Wouldn't want to have missed out on that, personally.
